Hello all,
I had a Pentium-4 based system running FreeBSD 7.0. 7.0 when installed when it was released; till 7.1 I did not perform any cvsup upgrade operations. On 7.0 I had cpufreq enabled in kernel: Code:
device cpufreq Code:
powerd_enable="YES" Code:

I can see that this line is produced by the tsc.c source file. From the same source code it seems that when the timecounter is TSC, frequency changes (by cpufreq for example) are prohibited. What buffles is me is why this used to work perfectly in 7.0! Was it that another clock source was used back then? BTW, ntpd had been running since the days this system had FreeBSD 4.0 on it... ![]() Any information provided will be appreciated. BTW, some sysctl values that might be useful: Code:

Alas, the forum has a character limit per post so I split info, but in the process I failed to mention why this problem arised. And I can't edit my first post. So I'm writing it here:
"In the last few days I've upgraded to 7.1. On 7.1 I did not switch to the new ULE scheduler, I sticked with the old one. Also note that the SMP option is missing, as well as a lot of networking options and the like." (Note the current 7.1 kernel config is in the previous post, above)" |

I am using PCBSD with KDE, if that means anything.
Also, the error "timecounter TSC must not be in use when changing frequencies; change denied" appears in the terminal after I click the log out button. I just installed gnome, and was wanting to try it. Is there a way I can fix this problem, or another way to switch to using gnome?

Hello there
![]() I know this thread is over a year old, but I just cought the same problem and I found a solution. Original thread author probably don't need it anymore, but google showed me this topic at first place, so maybe someone else will find my solution useful. At the beginning check output of: Code:
# sysctl kern.timecounter.choice In addition Code:
sysctl kern.timecounter.hardware Code:
kern.timecounter.choice: TSC(800) i8254(0) dummy(-1000000) kern.timecounter.hardware: TSC So whole solution in this case is: Code:
# sysctl kern.timecounter.hardware=i8254 # echo "kern.timecounter.hardware=i8254" >> /boot/loader.conf p.s. With low quality rated timecounter you should also consider running ntpd besides powerd. Last edited by DutchDaemon; October 30th, 2010 at 23:23. |

Thank you for this info. It has worked a treat for me also.
If I could ask a question please [newbie here]: when I reboot the server the error comes back up. Is there a way I can hardcode this in or get it write during system startup at all?

Thanks but ncpnc has already posted that information.
I have the embedded installation, as far as I can see it needs to go to /cf/boot/loader.conf but when I add the value to that file it is not liked at all. Last edited by DutchDaemon; November 3rd, 2010 at 01:29. |

Hi, sorry to revive an old topic, but I am having the same issue. I can temporarily solve it using the following command (through the WebGUI):
sysctl kern.timecounter.hardware=i8254This solves the issue, and then allows the CPU frequency to drop (from 2900Mhz to 730Mhz). I have manually edited and saved the /cf/boot/loader.conf (as I am running embedded) and added the line: Code:
kern.timecounter.hardware=i8254 Last edited by DutchDaemon; January 30th, 2011 at 04:13. |

Never mind, I worked it out.. Here's how:
I had to place the code: Code:
kern.timecounter.hardware=i8254 To do this (as I am running FreeNAS.. go to "System --> Advanced --> sysctl.conf, and add in the code there. Works a charm on embedded installations; and now my 2.93GHZ Celeron clocks down to 700Mhz pretty much all the time. CPU temps have dropped 2 degrees too (passive cooling) Last edited by DutchDaemon; January 31st, 2011 at 04:11. |
